PouchThe free chore chart that keeps track of allowance
Your kids tick off chores, payday adds their allowance, and a bar shows how close they are to what they’re saving for. Pouch keeps the running balance; you keep the real money.
No account to create. Your kids’ names and balances stay on your phone.

What it does
Chores they can tick
Every day, some days, once a week or one time. Give a chore a price, or leave it as a family job with no pay.
Allowance on payday
Pick an amount and a day. Pouch adds it to the balance each week. If nobody opened the app on payday, it catches up the next time it’s opened.
A goal to save for
Name the bike or the art set and its price. The bar fills as the balance grows.
A chart for the fridge
Print each kid’s week as a chart with boxes to tick or stick a sticker on.
Stays on your phone
No account and no server copy. Pouch stores everything in your browser and doesn’t use trackers.
Works offline
Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app, with or without signal, after your first visit.
How it works
- Add your kids. A first name or nickname and a picture.
- Add chores. Type your own or pick from ideas by age.
- Set an allowance if you give one. Not sure how much? Try the allowance by age guide.
- Pay out the real money however you like: cash, a piggy bank or a transfer. Then log it as spent in Pouch.
Questions parents ask
Is Pouch really free?
Yes. It’s free, with no ads and no sign-up.
Does any real money move?
No. Pouch is a tracker. It shows what each kid has earned, spent and saved, and you handle the actual money. It never connects to a bank or a card.
Where is my data stored?
In your browser, on your device. We don’t receive it and can’t see it. The flip side: if you clear your browser data or lose your phone, it’s gone, so download a backup file now and then (Settings, then Download backup).
Can both parents use it?
Not on two phones, because the data lives on one device. For now, pick one phone as the family’s Pouch. You can move everything to a new phone with a backup file.
Is it an app for kids?
It’s made for parents. Kids can tick their chores on your phone with you, and the printable chart works for kids who don’t use a screen.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in your phone’s browser. If you want it on your home screen: in Safari tap Share, then “Add to Home Screen”; in Chrome use the menu and “Install app”.
